Functional Dynamics in Complex Chemical and Biological Systems (FUNCDYN) with VSCHT Praha
________________________________

I am interested in interaction between a complex biological system and its dynamic environment. The interaction is typically far from equilibrium with strong non-linear features. We apply multidimensional (e.g., 3-D space, time, spectrum) experimental methods to capture the resulting dynamics. Systemic approach is used to construct models exhibiting dynamic features homologous to the experiment (e-photosynthesis). The dominant model process of my research is plant photosynthesis with chlorophyll fluorescence emission used as a reporter signal.

Dřívější výsledky

The earlier results that I value most are:

1. Identification of the role of Cyt b559 in photoprotection of plants (Nedbal, L., Samson, G. and Whitmarsh, J. (1992) Redox state of a one-electron component controls the rate of photoinhibition of Photosystem II. Proc.Natl.Acad.Sci. USA 89: 7929-7933)

2. My lab was the first to propose that mycosporine-like amino acids protect algae against UV-B radiation (Xiong F., Lederer F., Lukavský J. and Nedbal L. (1996) Screening of freshwater algae (Chlorophyta, Chromophyta) for ultraviolet-B sensitivity of the photosynthetic apparatus. J.Plant Physiol. 148: 42-48 / Xiong FS, Komenda J, Kopecký J, et al. (1997) Strategies of ultraviolet-B protection in microscopic algae. Physiol plantarum 100: (2) 378-388).

3. With Martin Trtílek, I am co-founder of Photon Systems Instruments, spol. s r.o.. We proposed and constructed numerous novel instruments that are operated by many distinguished users worldwide.

4. We identified new chlorophyll fluorescence transient in harmonically modulated irradiance (Nedbal, L., Brezina, V., Adamec, F., Štys, D., Oja, V., Laisk, A. and Govindjee: Negative feedback regulation is responsible for the non-linear modulation of photosynthetic activity in plants and cyanobacteria exposed to a dynamic light environment (2003) Biochim.Biophys.Acta: Bioenergetics 1607: 5-17 / Nedbal,L., B?ezina,V, ?ervený, J. and Trtílek, M. (2005) Photosynthesis in dynamic light: Systems biology of unconventional chlorophyll fluorescence transients in Synechocystis sp. PCC6803. Photosynth.Res. 84: 99-106).

5. My laboratory was the first research pioneer in Nové Hrady starting in 2000 an endeavor leading to the present Academic and University Center.

6. In 2002, we designed and organized start-up of Schola ludus program of graduate education in Nové Hrady.

7. In 2002, we organized the first international workshop in Nové Hrady as the foundations to the present Conference Center.

8. In 2006, we hosted Systems Biology Mark-Up Language (SBML) Hackathon http://sbml.org/workshops/, 7-9 April and Workshop on Emergent Dynamic Properties of Photosynthetic Organisms, 30 July - 5 August
